Two Illinois Libertarian Candidates Sue to Overturn Illinois Campaign Finance Restriction

On November 19, two Libertarian candidates for Illinois state office in 2016 filed a lawsuit against a 2013 law that makes it illegal for a medical cannabis business, or a PAC formed by such a business, to contribute any money to any candidate for state office. The case is Ball v Madigan, 1:15cv-10441, n.d.. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge John Z. Lee, an Obama appointee.

The plaintiffs are Claire Ball, running for Controller, and Scott Schluter, for legislature. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
